TO THE FUBLIO.
la eompilmg and an-an^ing tiiis book, it has been the
object to make its contents as plain and tberefore as
useful to strangers as a work of this kind can be made.
There are many who visit the city, who from lack of
knowledge of places of interest, leave again, without
having seen anything but " bricks and anortar^" whereas
with a book of this nature In their pockets, they would
have been enabled to learn and observe many of the
city sights, without troubling their friends or asking
sti'angers. Accompanjing this little work is a line
Map of (he City and famoiis Ventral Park. Confident
that its issue meets a want long felt, the undersigned,
witkout further remark, offer their " Strangehs"" Guide""
to those whom pleasure or business may have called to
the city, earnestly hoping tiiat it will fully answer the
purpose fof which it is intended.

THE STRANGERS* GUIDE. 31
At Harlem you can take a steamboat and in half
an hour, after a very pleasant sail, be landed at
High Bridge. This huge structure supports the
Croton aqueduct across the Harlem river ; it is one
hundred feet high and one-third of a mile in length,
and is supported by fourteen arches. It will well
repay a visit.
